Ifrit

The Ifrit is a Devil Arm that appears in Devil May Cry. Its hellfire is hotter than a volcano, and though it can only be wielded by one who can conquer it, it is able to grant its wielder increased power.

Appearance
Ifrit is a pair of black and orange gauntlets with a spiked, dragon head as the wrist and forearm guard. Metal plated gloves come out of the mouth.

Gameplay
In its glory, Ifrit is a very slow weapon, using the weapon at the start will try to make up its weak, yet strong damage with its flames, however, in the function all the way to the end of the game it doesn't have enough. When you level up this weapon all the lack of proficiency and strength is grown. Moves, such as Inferno is just as enough to take down all enemies. Using Meteor with Ifrit has it resembling a ball of fire, where the power can be charged, although with the Sword of Sparda it functions the same, but airborne has it being swarms of red bursts, or on the ground it is the same fireballs, such as firey energy and charging time, however, in Devil Trigger swallows the runes. In Devil Trigger, Dante is slow but can increase his abilities a smidge. Timing and versatility is the key to being unstoppable to all foes.

Ifrit the Fire Devil
Dante finds Ifrit on an altar in the Garden, and it speaks to Dante of its anger. It flies through the air and shackles his arms, trying to pull them apart, but Dante is able to subdue it.

After that point, Dante can channel Ifrit's power, enhancing his attacks with fire and allowing him to take the form of a horned, spiked demon.

Sengoku Basara
If Sanada Yukimura (Scorpio in Devil Kings) is equipped with Sparda, Ifrit will appear as arm guards.

Viewtiful Joe
Most characters can perform the Ifrit Combo. In the same game, Dante yells "Inferno!" while performing the Sparda Kick.

Background
In the Arabic folklore and Qur'an, Ifrit is a Jinn commonly associated with fire. Jinn are spirits of wind and fire that possess free will. They can be good or evil, and are noted for their strength and cunning.
